JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. -- Missouri Republicans handed President Donald Trump a political victory Friday, giving final legislative approval to a redistricting plan that could help Republicans win an additional U.S. House seat in next year's elections. The Senate vote sends the redistricting plan to Republican Gov. Mike Kehoe, who said he will sign it into law soon. But opponents immediately announced a referendum petition that, if successful, could force a statewide vote on the new map.

Karl Rove cautioned Trump about political risks, stating that while his approval ratings are better than his first term, they are still not where most presidents typically stand after election victories.

Hawley walked off stage during an Axios-hosted conference when pro-Palestinian protesters interrupted his interview. The protesters shouted their discontent about his support for war efforts.

Republicans delayed work requirements until 2027 and financing changes until 2028. They also frontloaded their One Big Beautiful Bill Act with tax breaks that voters are likely to see sooner.

James Carville expressed deep concerns about possible election tampering and President Trump's actions, saying, "I don't put anything past him, nothing!" He fears Trump could attempt to cancel elections to obstruct Democratic progress.

"We want to ensure that people can feel the effects of it well in advance of the midterm elections... we believe this bill is going to provide real relief for real Americans everywhere."

The DNC's strategy under Ken Martin focuses on grassroots organizing, mobilizing 16,000 volunteers to engage in midterm elections and hold Republicans accountable.
